How to Not Survive, but Thrive, Living with a Writer!
This was just toooo good not to share! As a writer, I will tell you that it's good, no, great advice if you are involved with a writer.
Okay, all laughs aside....seriously....if you are the significant other to a writer you are one of my HEROES!! When we are writing and you try to talk to us, we are not being rude by not answering you, we don't mean to be neglectful, we don't mean to hurt your feelings. We simply don't hear you.....when we are deep into the zone we aren't even in the same room or house with you...we are in the world of our story, if we are lucky.
This, in fact, is one of the questions I ask the authors that I interview. Do you ‘get lost’ in your writing and for how long? And they have all reported back that yes they get lost in the story and in their characters.
So if you give the writer in your life some slack, bring them a cup of coffee but don't speak, quietly close the door to their 'writing space' you are truly a friend to that writer.
